from Terry Jones of the Edmoton Sun,
The travelling crew that has produced the skills competition around the NHL for the last 18 years said they’d never seen a faster time produced than the 13.1 seconds it took Erik Cole to skate around Rexall Place yesterday.
But Cole was more impressed with the scene.
“They certainly don’t do this in Carolina. I don’t think anyone would show up,” the former Hurricane said.
“To see this building full with lots of excitement for this ... it’s amazing.”
What made it special was that the sellout crowd gave the players the kind of unconditional love they don’t otherwise get from crowds of critical customers in a city that specializes in tough love for its shinny stars.
